    Taff, I agree about the Christmas markets being disappointing. the last time the same friend and I did a Christmas market it was all flavoured gin, wooden items, and overpriced Christmas decorations. I thought they were overpriced anyway.
    We've visited the German and Austrian markets in the past and they are better.

    In view of what I've said you might wonder why I'm going, but this friend is widowed and has no one else to go with. It's only a weekend, it won't kill me !!

    Afternoon.

    My plan A went out the window as I didn't want to do the auction house thing today. Some days are more painful than others! Instead I only collected my orders from JL, took back an order to Marks and returned another order to A mazon. I've also ordered some soft top socks as I'm anticipating swollen feet and ankles.

    I'm so pleased with the three items from JL, all bought in the sale. The best is a Hobbs meriono jumper reduced by £50.00, it's lovely even if their idea of 'large' is not the same as mine! I also got a new tote bag for use in the next few weeks, again, I'm really pleased with it.

    All this activity takes its toll so I'm now lying down for a while.

    Great idea -taff - may well do that, thanks.

    Scarlet - there's a really good German Christmas market in Edinburgh each year. I may well miss it this year which is a shame as DM likes to get her fix of German meats.

    Evening all,

    It's been a cold and windy day here......our usual knitting morning in the library turned into an "open day " as the librarian there has been promoted to county headquarters,
    and this was an opportunity for those who wanted to say goodbye and wish her well.....a nice idea I thought.

    Dinner will be late as we have a guest who has not yet arrived.......DD1 is cooking (doesn't trust me!)

    Oops.....guest has arrived, back later
